"... sonically delightful and expressively compelling ..."
- The New York Times
"(The Jaspers) match their sounds perfectly, as if each swelling chord were coming out of a single, impossibly well-tuned organ, instead of four distinct instruments."
- New Haven Advocate
Award-winning Philadelphia ensemble the Jasper String Quartet presents never-before-recorded contemporary quartets by Donnacha Dennehy, Annie Gosfield, Judd Greenstein, Ted Hearne, David Lang, Missy Mazzoli and Caroline Shaw on this album, a collection of moving, post-genre and technically impressive works by male and female composers of the same generation as the Jaspers. Reflective of right now, Unbound is unbound by convention, yet retains the performance quality expected of a traditional classically trained string quartet.
"The seven pieces on this album represent a collection of treasures we've discovered from this century ... Annie Gosfield's The Blue Horse Walks on the Horizon was written expressly for our quartet. The rest we unearthed as we sifted through the vibrant and varied landscape of music being created today. We sought to find a set of pieces that were both enchanting on their own and together represent a cohesive aesthetic ... these pieces represent an incredible diversity of sound and style. Yet they all reside comfortably in this wonderful tradition of string quartets, of which we are lucky enough to be a part."
